Painting Time

I finished two painting projects this week.I seen furniture painted like this at an artgallery in Biltmore NC. Of course I willnever be able to afford it, but my oldestdaughter said that I could make myown...so I did!!!

Here is a closeup of the fall side.Each side is a different season.

Here is the chest before being put together.I saw a lot of furniture that is very priceyon 'Sticks Furniture' website.

But since I couldn't afford them I didmy own. And I loved it!!!

Now I'm looking around for more oldfurniture to paint!!!

I had an old farm table that had seen better days.This is the before...

After sanding it down I drew the designon and then wood burned it.Then I painted it with acrylic paint.
